A few weeks ago, I finally embarked on the trip I have been jabbering on about all year: an absolutely incredible 3 day trek up 3 of Spain's highest mountains! All in aid of the EY Foundation, the trek was both mentally and physically testing, but equally rewarding and all for such a great cause.

Every summer, the Wormit Boat Club host their annual Open Day - which, when we were younger, always marks the start of summer! So this year I headed back to my hometown with one of my oldest friends, Sophie, for a reminiscent afternoon!

When I learned I was going caving for one of the activities on the Forest of Dean #DeanWyeBloggers weekend, I was excited to be doing something new yet, wasn't entirely sure what to expect. What the heck IS caving?!

Turns out caving is quite literally clambering around in, and exploring, natural age-old caves 200m below the surface. These caves are all over the Forest of Dean, hidden beneath the forest floor. Though they are naturally occurring, they were used for years as mining caves as they hold iron ore. We were taken on a tour of these beautiful wonders by Jonathan at Clearwell Caves.

This week's post is actually a guest post that I have written for a fantastic blog, The Adventures of Kate. Like myself, Kate loves the outdoors and writes an awesome blog about it, and I was delighted when she let me write a guest post for Mountain Monday theme.

I have written about my Sunday adventure with my dad, when we summited my second and third munros: Mayar and Driesh. It was a windy yet wonderful day, with plenty of scenery, and you can read about it and admire the photos here :)

I was absolutely delighted when I found out I was getting to take part in Mountain Biking as one of my activity during the Forest of #DeanWyeBloggers weekend. I used to be inseparable from my mountain bike as a kid, staying out all day until sun down with my pals. I never managed to have a proper mountain biking experience, so I was incredibly hopeful on this trip that we wouldn't get a watered-down experience and instead we would be thrown in the deep end - I was not disappointed.

In the run up to Los Tres Picos this June, I will be taking part in numerous training walks in order to get my fitness up to scratch for the main event! Some of these will be personal, others are arranged walks with fellow EY Foundation fundraisers.

This past weekend I decided to head down to Cramond to test out my beautiful new camera, but importantly I wanted to get used to my walking boots once again, before training commences for the EY Foundation trek in Spain!
